[maya will be able to get the residual thoughts of why do I bother anymore when it all goes wrong - up until she's startled out of it, letting maya hold onto her hand]
. . . she sounds fond though. and she'll just shift then - she's probably just wearing a swimsuit coverup because it's summer time, but she'll pluck out the necklace she's wearing. it's been a few weeks since maya's seen it probably, even if the pendant is just obscured by iris' hair or clothes. but she might recognize it distantly from the week 3 trial as crow's]
Never engage with boys, Maya. It's a waste of time, and they'll never listen to you when it counts.
That's right. He gave it to me to hold onto, to make sure that he can take it back by the end. But he's also trying to court me, even though I told him that's a bad idea.
And Ichiro was unhappy to hear this, when I got to tell him today, even though I also told him that it was a bad idea to court me.
So in short - if there is ever a stubborn young man in your life, you should perhaps run before it's too late.
[Or you should just stop talking to him, before you make everything worse and hurt everyone.]

(Is she herself? She must be... right? What could have happened?)
Who made you cry? I'll beat them up!

no subject

Um... No, it's just -
Goodness, it's so silly.
[He'd just end up more upset.]
no subject
(Who is he? Ichiro?)
no subject
the thought is just How did you guess this so fast.]
no subject
Well.... you two seem pretty close, is all. He seems to care about you a lot...
.... but if he hurt you, Imma let him have it!!
[ she may be trying to joke to cheer iris up?? or ready to 1v1 ichiro for real who knows ]
no subject
Would you let me have it if I'm the one who hurt him?
[Please?]
no subject
[ ... ]
Um... but you can tell me what happened, and maybe I'll let you have it a little bit?

[You're always so sweet to me.

[ maya actually finds ichiro a little patronizing..... but she doesn't say or think that ]
[ she does recognize crow's pendant, and tilts her head at it, then iris ]
I coulda told you that. Boys are dumb.
... That's Mr. Armbrust's, isn't it?
no subject

Well, you are very charming and loveable. I can't blame them for falling for you.
I don't think I'll ever have that problem.
[ nudges her a little bit ]
... I don't think you really hurt everyone, though. Just.... boys are kind of dumb, you know? You're not really doing anything wrong.
